3 Minute History Canada continues its high-octane ride through Canadian energy history.
This week’s episode dives into the epic 1951–1953 construction of the original Trans Mountain Pipeline — 1,150 km of pure grit carved through the Rocky Mountains during the Korean War. Facing steel shortages and brutal terrain, surveyors mapped insane routes by foot and plane while crews earned “bird club” status leaping off sliding equipment with ropes. The golden weld in August 1953 opened Pacific markets and supercharged the national economy.
Created by historian and energy analyst Dr. Tammy Nemeth, each three-minute episode blends vivid storytelling, rare visuals, and the real human grit behind the headlines.
